Page 4 Specification No.MP.0.01.00.19 (Rev -02), August 2020
4.2 Service Conditions
4.2.1 The equipment shall be capable of operating efficiently inspite of dust, dirt, mist, torrential
rains, sand storm and presence of oil vapours to which the locomotive is normally exposed
in service.
4.2.2 The equipment shall be capable of working satisfactorily under site conditions indicated
below:
.1 Altitude- Means sea level to an altitude of 1000m.
.2 Ambient temperature- 0ºC to 55ºC. The air temperature in-side the equipment
compartment may reach up to 70ºC.
.3 Relative Humidity-Up to 100%.
4.2.3 Vibration, shock and bump test
The panel with mounting arrangement shall be able to withstand the vibrations and shocks
normally encountered during service. The conditions are indicated below:
.1 Maximum vertical acceleration 1.0g.
.2 Maximum longitudinal acceleration 3.0g.
.3 Maximum transverse acceleration
0.5g. ('g' being acceleration due to
gravity)
4.2.3.1 Details of Vibration, shock and bump tests
The assembly is secured in a suitable position to a machine producing vibrations of
sinusoidal form with adjustable amplitude and frequency and is then subjected to the tests
given below. The assembly under test shall be able to withstand successfully the electrical
tests and, in particular, the dielectric tests applicable to the equipment concerned.
4.2.3.2 Determination of resonant frequencies
In order to determine the possible existence of critical producing resonance, the frequency
shall be varied progressively over the range 1 Hz-100 Hz within a time of not less than
four minutes and the amplitude of oscillations (A) expressed in millimetres should be
varied as a function of frequency (f) according to the relation
A = 25/f for values of f from 1 Hz to 10 Hz
A = 250/f² for values of f exceeding 10 Hz & upto 100 Hz.
If resonance is produced, the corresponding frequency shall be maintained for ten minutes
in each case with the apparatus alive. A check shall be made that no ill effects result on
the operation of the apparatus (abnormal tripping of a relay, sparking at contacts,
temperature rise at contacts, etc.).
4.2.3.3 Tests with sustained vibrations:
The assembly is next subjected to a test with sustained vibration for a period of two hours,
- either at the critical frequency, if any such well defined frequency has been detected in
the course of the test of sub-clause 4.1.3.2
Specification For Compact (Tri-plate) Type IRAB-1 Pure Air Brake and 28 LAV-1 Dual Brake Panel For Diesel Locomotives
Page 5 Specification No.MP.0.01.00.19 (Rev -02), August 2020
- Otherwise, at a frequency of 10 Hz;
In both cases, the amplitude of the vibrating table is to be adjusted to the value
corresponding to the frequency concerned.
The test is considered to be satisfactory if there is no resulting damage or abnormality in
operation.
If considered by Engineer or Inspecting Officer, the assembly may be subjected to sustained
vibration for a longer period (25 h to 50 h), as an investigation test.
4.2.3.4 Tests for simulating the effect of shunting shocks:
In the direction corresponding to the longitudinal movement of the vehicle on which it is
to be mounted, the assembly is subjected for 2 min. to 50 Hz vibrations of such a nature
that the maximum acceleration is equal to 30 m/s² (amplitude a= 0.3 mm) the equivalent
in operation.
4.2.4 The supplier should have valid ISO9001:2000 certification.
4.3 Guarantee
The equipment mounted on panel shall be guaranteed for satisfactory functioning for a period of 2
years after commissioning. However, the supplier shall guarantee for satisfactory functioning of
the panel for a period of atleast 10 years. Any equipment which fails during the guarantee period
shall be replaced or modified free of cost by the supplier. In case it becomes necessary to modify
the design, all the units will have to be modified by the supplier free of cost.
